Monterey County Convention and Visitors Bureau has created a Scenes for Your Senses: Literary and Film Map. With the guide, visitors learn where to walk paths where John Steinbeck rode his boyhood pony, how to hike to one of Henry Miller's favorite coves, where to meditate on the mighty stones of Robinson Jeffers' hand-built home, and where to find film locations from Basic Instinct, Play Misty for Me, and National Velvet.

The map includes coastal and inland itineraries in the Salinas Valley, Carmel, Monterey, Pebble Beach and Big Sur. It lists places for hiking, eating, winery visits and picnics. The map can be used for driving, biking and hiking tours. It includes a calendar of seasonal film and literary events.
